Meryl Streep‘s daughter, Mamie Gummer, has made a name for herself in Hollywood over the years.
Mamie is the eldest daughter of Streep and ex-husband Don Gummer. In addition to Mamie, the duo, who split in 2017, are also the parents of son Henry Wolfe Gummer and daughters Grace Gummer and Louisa Jacobson.
Like her mom, Mamie has pursued a career in acting. She starred in the 2012 medical series Emily Owens, M.D. and had a recurring role on The Good Wife. In addition to multiple TV roles, she also appeared in movies and theater productions.
In February 2024, Mamie made headlines after she filed for divorce from Mehar Sethi after six years of marriage. TMZ reported that the actress cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce and listed her and Sethi’s separation date as May 6, 2023.

According to Mamie’s divorce filing, she’s seeking joint legal and physical custody of the kids.
